Question

I created a page called api.aspx
I am displaying my output using a JSON serialize.
Each type of function is based on query string. For example:

If Request.QueryString("action") = "getMember"

Then from there, I do a

Request.QueryString("memberid")

For the variable I required for my function to work. Lastly the output is displayed as JSON.

Answer 1

In REST, there should be no verbs in the URI, especially no things such as ?action=getMember. The core REST principle is HATEOAS – which says that the state of the application is represented by the state of its resources.

Furthermore, the application should use a uniform interface – that is, use the standard HTTP methods POST, GET, PUT and DELETE for CRUD operations respectively.

So, such a member resource from your example should be accessed via GET request to a URI such as:

http://example.com/api/member/{memberId}

Where {memberId} is path parameter that represents the memberId.
